2014 BRIDES! 2014 dates are pretty much full. Dates book 1-1.5 yr in advance. Any other type of shooting will be taken on only as my schedule allows and during the week. Weddings are reserved for weekends. Send me a hello hunny.

Photographers/Readers: I get emails almost daily asking advice and questions about how I got started, gear I use and such, as much as I'd like to sit and write everyone back, I cannot devote hours to it like it would take...so I've prepared a lot of info in my "For Photographers"section under the About section, please check that out for info and details on my story, my gear, editing, and tips! muah muah.

i’ve been in a funk. for a week. i can admit to that, right? i’m human. i’ve been really sick, still working and at one of those times where i dont think it’s humanly possible to get done what i have taken on. it comes every once in a while. i hate that voice when […]

abbey–So true, and something I am hoping for in the future. So very badly. Love following your work so much!

gladys–this is the best “my work is not my bread and butter, it is what beats my heart.” LOVE that. love this post. this is why i keep coming back to your blog. you’re so inspiring, andria!

anda–“good lord, what would the world be like if we were all committed to this. in our career, in love, in life. we’d be on fire. we’d be caught up in love, we’d be better people.” exactly. your life is so going to change for the better for doing this. i know mine did. i always say i’d rather have to work part time in a coffee shop to make up for the extra money lost if i only shoot what i love and take clients i adore. so far so good … no need to work that coffee shop job and actually … once i started sticking to only what gave me purpose … the more that type of work poured in like a waterfall. i only hope the same for you and based on your passion through these words alone, all the best is coming to you. and quickly. xx.

Kate –Girl… Preach it. I love the “BEST fits”. I agree with everything you said! I’m right there with you.

em–I love this. I want to be better at choosing. It’s so hard to say NO. I am dying to figure out how to do this better … I think I just need to make more time during the consult process and find a way to communicate exactly what you’ve just said to every person that comes to me. Thanks for giving me some words to think about. xoxo.

Sarah–I am so inspired by you. I look up to you. I strive to be as honest and true to my client and myself as you do. And I am bursting with excitement for when you come to Colorado to photog me and my Killian. I just want to jump up and down in my office thinking about it! Eek!

Kate–Rant and rave and whirl about. More of the soul work that makes the heart beat faster and the shutter sing. I was talking to a friend only yesterday about this – about trying to dedicate yourself to the right fit with the right clients. It’s hard when you convince yourself to steer your business in a certain way because you fear leaving behind where the majority are. I’m learning that I’m not a majority type of girl. There’s no point me painfully trying to market to people that are not MY PEOPLE just because I think there are more of them. I’m trying hard to be done with marketing out of fear, with building a business that chases work. I want to do and shoot the work I love. I hope that makes it easier for my people to find me too.

Keira–I can totally relate to “The Funk”! I feel like I have been stuck in one for a month. Bleh. Thanks so much for the encouragement!! I’m glad to hear you’re out of yours!!

Greg E –Hey – nothing wrong with how you feel here. You are realizing that your style isn’t right for each client that approaches you, you’re recognizing that as you don’t click with them, that’s fine too. As a wedding photographer, there is much more to it than snapping photos, you have to be completely comfortable giving direction and dealing with all the personalities.
Separately, I find it quite amazing that you put all this out on your blog. Not everyone can do it or do it appropriately like you have.

Alex B. –Glad you had fun together. I’m just lucky that Jamie is my inspiration.

Erin –I love your work and love reading your posts. Kudos to you for being able to say no and knowing when it’s a good fit. Anticipating more beautiful pictures to come!

Kevin McBride–Have been saying this same thing, but did not know the best way to say it, so I just shut it inside.

Kevin McBride–The other comment was off: Have been saying this same thing, but did not know the best way to say it, so I just shut it inside.

Abigail Renola Tjaden–magnetic are the shots you grab and take. such riches comes through in the story you chose to tell. Keep shining. it is worth it. Thanks for allowing your yes to be yes and your no to be no. When we do things that make us come alive, we really can I believe push further a deep love that holds everything together. Yay! You are the best!

Scott–honestly is the best policy. no doubt about it that you get better images from the people you connect best with.

mae–right on, girl. that passion, that drive is what sets you apart. keep chasing your heart. and keep sharing it; the worlds need more of you.

kristen marie–girl. you are a feeler through and through. ENFP? Embrace that.

Jaime Patterson–Thank you for writing this, thank you for sharing your heart!
From one photographer to another this has spoken to me in more ways than one! <3

And God said, Let there be light; and there was light. And God saw the light, that is was good. when i get a strong stream of light pouring straight into my lens, things happen. i found myself squinting as i was editing these. that very well may be because of how sensitive my dang […]

the detailed life–i’m in portland and madly craving this light, as well. had some yesterday evening… i take advantage of it, every chance i get… which lately has only been about once a week. but at least we don’t have floods and tornadoes.

SERENA DINH–The pictures are beautiful. Just a quick question: what is mentor session?
Hope your life is just as fabulous as you!
-S.

here’s to: proving you can totally keep it sexy as a married couple that sun, in fact, does make some really snazzy awesome pictures how right sequins can be mid-day on a tuesday here’s to jen and nate, looking good in love. oh my lord yes. big thanks to jen and nate for modeling during […]

such a small world. always. i swear, sickness more often than not, ampoule in meeting someone..there is always something that connects us. i should just always expect it now. case in point, for sale tiarra. our internet relationship started last year about a mentor session, then come to find out she is married to the […]

i just about pee my pants when i get to shoot couples like nate & steph. who have so much personality and joy and laughter and giggles that it almost seeps through the screen right there on to your keyboard, inevitably making your day better and forcing you to smile all over the place. sometimes, […]

elleham –STEPH!! this is AMAZING!! i just love u two…you look SOOO beautiful!!! love these photos of you two–Andria, you have done it again! (not like i’m suprised or anything ;o)) Steph–if u read this, lets get coffee or something when im in town this month! (april) call me. <3 <3 <3

josh hawthorne –Yay!!! this is so awesome. thank you so much, i was so excited to hear that you were doing this for them.
